on one hand, the claim is that the virus spreads quickly and easily to all who come in contact - which is why social distancing and masking is pushed ad nauseum. However, your argument is that a confined group of athletes over a 6 week period won't all become infected if they ignore the draconian measures If that argument is true and transmission is limited, then why do we need the masks and distancing?

you hit on the obvious answer have teams conduct their training camp as usual, with no access to family or other at risk individuals after 6 weeks, everyone is immune and they have served their quarantine period herd immunity is a good thing

with how easy this virus spreads, looks like Texas is well on its way to having its entire team immune within a couple of weeks why is this a bad thing? smart teams are doing the same thing

more cases are better quicker to herd immunity no easy transmission, it disappears 500 positive at Orlando airport , but only 2 showed symptoms oh- the humanity!

2 million dead in the US there is not a main stream supported model that has come close to predicting reality even after 6 months of real cases, the models still have not been adjusted to reflect reality but not a surprise as the key variables have all been intentionally skewed

could be big decrease coming in new covid cases -with FDA pulling approval for use on covid patients, threre could be serious decline in covid cases with a corresponding increase in malaria and high altitude sickness cases - to be treated with HCQ.

you must live in fantasy land if you don't think Kap will generate a firsstorm

it does for thousands of doctors and their patients using it treat the virus. could be why the US health system is not being overrun with all of these new cases for some reason, it just does not work in rigged in studies run by big pharma

you can't reach herd immunity (and eliminate need for vaccine) without new cases

what a deal- all of those older dead people now able to vote to stop Trump

if it comes back in the fall, is it no longer a "novel" virus?

who is subject to contact tracing? If everyone that tests postive gets a call, this would seem to be a deterrent to get tested if not seriously sick.

The major problem with the data is that each state collects its own and none of them are the same the biggest missing pieces relate to hospital & ICU stays (# and length) and recoveries how did the survivors do it- treatments, drugs, without this info, it is impossible to make decisions on future policy

what's a few hundred thousand dead old people when the plan is get rid of trump. Bonus is that all of those dead people will be voting D

what would be the point of a vaccine then? The vaccine shot essentially gives you the virus so your body will develop immunity [Edit: simply wrong gouge on how vaccines work please see my post below -Hap]

funny how actual data can be deemed to be bad facts

not wear masks and hang out with Zeke Elliott

I believe they may have a better chance of being hit by lghtning than dying from covid the answer is obvious get the team exposed now - so they can't pass it to anybody later

smart teams will have their teams work closely together now. any player actually getting sick (which is unlikely due to their age and health) can be treated now Acquire herd immunity to avoid problems later The goal should be to get the whole team exposed in a controlled environment

probably not - all talk of new lockdowns is fear porn - hospitals in fine shape - green line moving down dramatically - new cases holding steady in orange - no 2nd wave or spike as % of case tested also dropping rapidly - new tests growing rapidly

probably a career altering statement to the fans of Buffalo wish him well

very strange definition of "really bad" deaths trending down under 20/ day for last week sure looks like a crisis https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/96dd742462124fa0b38ddedb9b25e429 over 200,000 tested to NOT have the virus per week https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/96dd742462124fa0b38ddedb9b25e429 covid hospital visits continue to decline no threat of overwhelming health care facilities https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/96dd742462124fa0b38ddedb9b25e429

what if they weren't "mistakes" sounds more like planned incompetence to maximize fear and death in 2 very specific locations which could then be used to dictate global policy

NY will be fine unless Cuomo forces severely sick people to the nursing homes

took your advice to check out the numbers went to the mecca of info- the CDC looking for hospitalization data this should should be a high priority item to tract actual results in the field, as the entire shutdown was to prevent overwhelming the hospitals However, after 4 months, the CDC still is not too interested tracking and posting in that critical info https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/COVIDNet/COVID19_3.html The below is from the CDC site, which indicates they are sampling 10% of the US population, in sites that have already been heavily hit, to "estimate" expected results (more modeling) "The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET) conducts population-based surveillance for laboratory-confirmed COVID-19-associated hospitalizations in children (persons younger than 18 years) and adults. The current network covers nearly 100 counties in the 10 Emerging Infections Program (EIP) states (CA, CO, CT, GA, MD, MN, NM, NY, OR, and TN) and four additional states through the Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Project (IA, MI, OH, and UT). The network represents approximately 10% of US population (~32 million people). Cases are identified by reviewing hospital, laboratory, and admission databases and infection control logs for patients hospitalized with a documented positive SARS-CoV-2 test. Data gathered are used to estimate age-specific hospitalization rates on a weekly basis and describe characteristics of persons hospitalized with COVID-19. Laboratory confirmation is dependent on clinician-ordered SARS-CoV-2 testing. Therefore, the rates provided are likely to be underestimated as COVID-19-associated hospitalizations can be missed due to test availability and provider or facility testing practices."
